[SOLVED] Wifi not connecting

When I try to connect to wifi using gnome-control-center I get "Activation of network connection failed."

A look at journalctl shows:

Jan 17 18:30:20 jFast NetworkManager[5857]: <info>  [1642465820.3861] device (wlp1s0f0u3): Activation: starting connection 'Mooring Family Wifi 5G' (44d0c5b2-79a0-42d1-b2c9-2e992f6bfe46)

The adapter shows up on lsusb as:

I have googled around for the past few days, but cannot find a solution.

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi not connecting

Probably a conflict with other network management services.

Please post the output of

ls -lR /etc/systemd/system

Are you infected with Wetiko?

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi not connecting

If you want to use iwd as backend for networkmanager, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … Fi_backend
In any event, disable the iwd service.

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi not connecting

So, I have disabled iwd (systemctl disable iwd && systemctl stop iwd) but I am still getting "Activation of network connection failed."

Here the journalctl logs

You're failing to provide credentials for the connection through either https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … e-keyring/ or eg. https://archlinux.org/packages/communit … kit-gnome/
Though I can't really say why (polkit agent seems to be started)

Jan 18 08:05:41 jFast gdm-password][904]: gkr-pam: gnome-keyring-daemon started properly and unlocked keyring

is a bit late to the party, though.

Edit: is https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … /installed and running?

Thank you for your help. No, I do not have network-manager-applet installed. I have been using gnome-control-center to work with wifi. Should I install it?

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi not connecting

iirc it's what provides the credential interfaces (polkit and keyring) for NM, so you should try. But you have to provide the wifi password *somehow*.
(ftr, I use neither gnome nor NM)

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi not connecting

When I try to connect to wifi through nm-applet, I get this:

nm-applet-Message: 09:34:36.096: New secrets for Mooring Family Wifi 5G/802-11-wireless-security requested; ask the user
** Message: 09:34:51.844: Error saving connection: 802-11-wireless-security.psk: property is invalid

nm-applet-Message: 09:36:59.097: No keyring secrets found for Mooring Family Wifi 5G/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.

And it continually asks me for the password without ever connecting.

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi not connecting

This looks funny: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkM … issues/768
Apparently NM "protects" you against lousy passwords

You could try https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … connection but if your wifi password right now is "test" or so, I'd rather fix that.
